I want to add points and/or labels to a map layer that will link to a
URL when clicked by the user.
Can anyone tell me the easiest way to do this?
Yup. You'd use the query template (the TEMPLATE setting for a layer) to
display the URL in the apprpriate context.
For example:
<http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=[url]"/>
Or, if the URL is derived from some field/attribute:
<http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://server/place/[title].pdf"/>
Is that a good start?
Of course, this assumes that you have a query template and that you have
click-to-query stuff basically working. But from there it's easy.
